STEVE GREENBERG’S ANALYSIS AND TOP 25 POLL

This much is settled through Week 10, as far as I'm concerned: Oregon, with the best offense in college football—and easily one of the best offenses of all time—deserves the chance to win its way to Miami.

Where it would get knocked around by Alabama, most figure. But so would Kansas State, Notre Dame or the Miami Dolphins, right?

Somebody has to oppose the Tide in our if-it-ended-right-now picture, and it might as well be a team that gained over 700 yards and scored nine touchdowns on Saturday night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

MATT HAYES’ ANALYSIS AND TOP 25 POLL

It’s obvious Alabama is the clear No. 1, but I’m beginning to seriously doubt Oregon at No. 2. The Ducks look all fancy with their flashy offense — until you look at their defense that gave up 51 points in the win over USC. I’m not buying the “it was against a great offense” argument. That great offense was held to 14 points and 280 yards by Stanford in September. So who is No. 2? I’m sticking with Oregon, but I’m moving closer to K-State and Notre Dame.
